Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SMK3) and Organizational Culture on employee performance, with K3L Certification as an intervening variable among employees of the Distribution Division at PT PLN (Persero) UID North Sumatra. This research uses a quantitative approach with data collected through questionnaires. The sample consisted of 163 employees, selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that the implementation of SMK3 and Organizational Culture has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Furthermore, SMK3 implementation and Organizational Culture also have a positive and significant effect on K3L Certification. K3L Certification significantly affects employee performance and mediates the relationship between SMK3 implementation, Organizational Culture, and employee performance. Therefore, improving employee performance can be achieved through effective SMK3 implementation, strengthening organizational culture, and maintaining sustainable K3L certification
